He is a helicopter pilot.

On a tour of Bosnia in the 90s, he was tasked with delivering a load of mail on the 25th December, to some remote outpost somewhere. He decided for full effect to dress up as Santa Claus.

Suitably attired, he made his approach to the camp, and with a possibly uneccessary but visually exciting flare, landed his Lynx in a cloud of powdered snow onto the small helipad set out to receive him.

The gathered troops politely applauded this heroic arrival.

As he step out of the chopper, his foot slipped on the now snow coated skid, and he fell backwards over the side of the helipad into a 6 foot snowdrift, and had to be pulled out feet first by several cackling squaddies.
